Summary
Michael’s not coming to see him off at the bus stop because Jesse is. The summer field training course marks the beginning of Alex’s actual enlistment—the two year grace period is over, he’s got a contract to sign, he’s becoming official property of the US Air Force. Alex has long-since given up on earning his father’s pride, focused instead on tricking himself into the circle of trust. For all Jesse’s bitching about Alex putting on airs with officer training while the rest of the family works for a living, it’s still possible for Jesse to see today as a victory. No backing out now, Alex is officially in his place—even if the sting of him doing it his own way still smarts.
*****
The summer between their sophomore and junior year at UNM, Alex has ROTC field training. It’s a month apart, the longest Alex and Michael have been separated in years.

Summary
Shoes off and jacket slung over the back of the couch, Maria heads to the sink, downing a glass of water and trying to shake herself out of her funk. It’s Halloween, she should be getting into the spirit now that she’s off the clock. She re-opens the front door and leans down to take the top off the jack-o-lantern, turning on the electric candle inside so it glows faintly through its jagged smile. There. Spooky.
“Are you waiting forlornly in the doorway for my return?”
Rosa rounds the corner with a grin, shoving her keys back into the pocket of her jacket as she approaches.
“Definitely.”
Maria and Rosa spend a Halloween night in.
